Northern Sun Fiddola “Lupot” 2015

Northern Sun Fiddola “Lupot” 2015

This is a 5-string violin for a fiddler or classical player looking for more versatility. Play the viola part and the violin part without switching instruments. Fiddlers love fiddolas for the increase in harmonies available with the addition of the low C string. This fiddola is the size of a 4/4 violin with a wider fingerboard. It was converted, varnished and set up in my shop on the Sunshine Coast. Antique varnishing inspired by the lush red of the famous Nicolas Lupot violin from 1808. Outfitted with a 5 string Wittner fine tuning tailpiece, a 3 tree Despiau bridge and Obligato strings. Ebony fittings. SOLD
